Mark Martin led a Hendrick Motorsports domination in qualifying at Kansas Speedway by taking the pole for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Price Chopper 400.

Martin bumped his teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. off the top spot with a lap of 175.758 mph. It's his seventh pole of the season and 48th of his career.

Earnhardt Jr.'s second-place effort is his best start since qualifying third, in the same car he's driving this weekend, at Indianapolis.

Brad Keselowski, who is making his second-to-last Cup Series start with Hendrick, qualified third. He was the best of the drivers that needed to qualify on time and the effort will give him his first Cup Series start at Kansas.

Tony Stewart went out first in qualifying and put down a fast lap of 175.041 mph, which was good enough for the fifth spot in another Hendrick affiliated car.
